Can't start enlightenment from xinitrc

Hmm how to start enlightenment correctly from xinitrc?
I tried with enlightenment_start, but it complained about DISPLAY environment variable not set.
I've set it, but it still complains...

I was able to start with only xterm, and then launch enlightenment from xterm :)
Looks impressive

Code:

Enlightenment cannot initialize its X connection.
Have you set your DISPLAY variable?
E17: Begin shutdown procedure!

Ye, I tried to set DISPLAY in xinitrc, but it doesn't work.... weird
 
exec enlighnment_start on .xinitrc worked for me. If you tell exec enlightenment will complain about display but with enlighnment_start should work.
 
UNIXgod said:
you should have full paths in xinitrc

That worked until I logged out. After that I wasn't able to start enlightenment again (Without restart).
Note: I'm using XDM
